Pizza Bites

Christi (my 12-year-old) is the brains behind this recipe. She wanted to create a blend of the best pizza ingredients into one “bowl” (her word). So, taking inspiration from our mini quiche recipe, we created . . . pizza bites. You can mix and match your favorite pizza ingredients and get ‘em just how you like ‘em. Our favorite combination? Pepperoni, onions, and olives, along with sauce and cheese, of course. You could do ham and pineapple. Plain pepperoni. Sausage and onion. They come out of the oven sizzling and melty and are the perfect size to literally pop in your mouth. Oh, and did I mention how easy they are? Seriously, Christi, thank you for your brilliant idea of “pizza in a bowl.” We all thank you. I owe you one . . . .

We make something like this at our house. We use left over taco meat, or meat sauce and top them with the appropriate cheese. In general they’re called Mr. Messies, but we’ve also heard Pizza Grenades, Taco Bombs, and Monster Messies. For Halloween, we made them with the taco meat, and added sour cream and an olive slice for eyes, lettuce for hair, and a tomato wedge for a monster mouth. My nieces love them and they are quickly becoming a favorite from the freezer when I need to make a quick dinner.
